This was just released two days ago, Jon's voice is timeless. Saw these guys 3 times earlier this year
a show I was at. was moonlighting out in Sacramento and had tickets to this show at the Warfield Theater. But was unsure I would make it as was out in Sacto. Wife could not find any one to go with her. So as soon as I saw last patient I lit out heading west. Was a little unsure where Warfield was. I made really great time and pulled on to Oakland Bay bridge and there was a big limo ahead of me. I pulled up next and there Jerry was on his way to show. Can't be late if the main act still driving to the show. I pulled in behind them, followed them right down to theater., Parked car and met wife. Went into show, usher says "wow goo tickets" Right next to sound board in front row of Balcony!!!
